A lively fight is now on in Hab¬ ersham county for the removal of the county site from Clarkesville to Toccoa. An election will he held in the county on that question August 19, and Toccoa is expecting to secure the county site. The city of Toccoa has offered very substantial inducements for its removal. Habersham is now in the act of taxing the county for the pur- pose of building a new court house, having already secured plans for the same. Toccoa comes forward backed by a good and substantial bond 0 obli- gating itself to furnish lot and build a new court house and jail accord¬ ing to the plans adopted by the county commissioners free of any tax or cost to the county of Haber¬ sham whatever. it is estimated that this will save the ^ county $34,000. This . speaks . well for the progressive enterprise of this town and probably will be the means of securing- the countv site. To make Toccoa the county site would make Habersham countv much nearer to her sister and adjoin- ing countv of Franklin, whereas as it is the two counties are compara- tively unknown to each other,owing to the inaccessibleness of Clarkes- ville, the countv site from this sec- tion. — Blank Books and writing mater- ial of ail kinds at the lowest prices at The Record Stationery Store, FURNITURE MATTRESSES, SPRINGS, ETC. r 0 9 COURT HOUSE NEWS Edited By Court House Club Editorial Committee. The Southern Publishing Co. is not responsible for matter appear¬ ing in these columns, hut names, if any are desired, may be had from the Toccoa Court House Club, un¬ der whose direction this department is run. The court house news department has been turned over to a committee of gentlemen appointed by the Toc¬ coa Court House Club, who will from week to week give all the news worth telling about the fight for removal. They are men who are able to back up all they say. A Statement. The paragraph in The Record two weeks back, referring to “the county map published in the At¬ lanta Journal by Clarkesville, the registration list and George’s office being a great place,” was accepted by George Erwin as applying to him—insinuating that he was at least under suspicion of “monkey¬ ing” with a registration list. The paragraph was written really more in a spirit of poking fun at George than for any other purpose. How¬ ever, it was based on a statement of T. W. Scott that the list of vot¬ ers registered in Toccoa district and turned over to him by the tax col¬ lector, did not contain as many names as the original list or regis¬ tration book did. The secretary of the Toccoa Court House Club wrote the lax collector for a copy of all the names on the book from this district. The collector, or some one purporting to be the collector, answered that it would cost us 2c. per name to get the copy, and if desired at that figure the list would be sent with hill attached C. O. D., or some way that brings the money quick and easy. Of course the offer was not entertained, but R. A. Ramsay and J. L. Martin were sent for the names. When they found the collector he had received no letter, nor had written none offering the names at 2c. each. He could not account for the list being short. When asked if it had been out of his possession before turning over to the hoard of registrars, he said that it was left in George Erwin’s office one night. George, however, says that McMil- lion never left the list in his office. This being true, he can feel at ease as to any blame being attached to him on account of the missing names And while we are confident that George attaches more significance to the paragraph than many other people, we have no desire to do him an injustice ; therefore, the insinu¬ ation that the list had stopped over night in “George's office” is with¬ drawn. and the tax collector is re¬ quested to state his reasons for say¬ ing he left it there. J. J. Bright. Answers. The Clarkesville Advertiser pub- lishes the following reasons why the court house should not be re- moved to Toccoa : Because Toccoa is in the lower corner of the county, and thus in¬ accessible to a large portion of the The above is not true; Toccoa is as near the centre of the county as is Clarkesville. Toccoa to Tugalo river is 7 miles, Franklin county 6 miles; Clarkesville to White coun¬ ty 6 miles, ’ and to Banks S miles, * C ( -^ f . k mC “' Hle SPD ‘f ,s . ... . almost . WeSt the . ^ tdenti- f ° th f c0 “ n '- v as Toccoa “ on the east S,de ° fthe COUn, v - Louk at ,he - m “ p '* nd measure, Because Toccoa is further away fr °"' a majorlty of the jurors of the ' ' es ’ " lienthe i unes are m “ de up to }our °' vn hk,n S' Wh y are - ‘ here only 9 )Ur0ri in Currahee dts- tnct? Why are there only 9 in Broad River district? There are over 150 voters in these two dis- tricts. The answer is plain. Your jury revisers accommodated some of your ringsters and your ringster put in the names of his friends, and no one else. This is a scheme to get a little money for jury service. Because Toccoa is further away from a large majority of the militia districts of the county. Impossible to be further away than is Clarkesville, for the reason that Clarkesville is on the west side of the county. Because the expenses of a major¬ ity of jurors and other parties would be increased in attending court. The expenses at Toccoa could not possibly he more than at Clarkes¬ ville, where they size you up and take all you have for a night’s lodg- ng. Because court expenses would be increased by the increased distance bailiffs would have to ride to sum¬ mon witnesses, jurors and parties ’ compelling the court to either sit longer to give time for such service, or increase the number of bailiffs— either way increasing costs. All of the above is a lie. If, as you say, Toccoa furnishes aM the cases in court and the busi¬ ness for the lawyers, you fellows ought to want to get near where the devilment is going on—you might be able to get something tor nothing. If Toccoa furnishes all the busi¬ ness and pays for it we do not see how it could hurt the county, as all the bailiffs and witnesses would come from Toccoa district. All these parties being right here, there would be no reason for a long ses¬ sion of court. $1,000 to $ioo. To the Voters of Habersham Co. : 1 understand that a report is be¬ ing circulated byprominent Clarkes¬ ville citizens, among whom are sev¬ eral lawyers, who certainly ought to know better, that Toccoa cannot and will not issue legal bonds for building a court house and jail at Toccoa. Now, to show my confi¬ dence in the integrity, ability and sincerity of the citizens of Toccoa, I make the following proposition to any citizen of Habersham county, to-wit: I will put up $i,ooo to $ioo that if the county site is moved to Toc¬ coa, Toccoa will build, absolutely free of any expense to citizens of the count)’, outside the corporate limits of said city, a court house and jail, in accordance with plans and specifications accepted by the county commissioners. John McJunkin, M. D. Toccoa, Ga., July 24. We rise to respectfully request the Advertiser to publish the pro¬ ceedings of the caucus held in Jack Bowden’s office, at the time Will Furr was placed in the race for commissioner, for the sole purpose and with the understanding that he was to build a new court house if elected. Of course the Advertiser can reserve the right to publish them when its columns are not overrun with complimentary notices from Clarkesville politicians, tell¬ ing about each others’ honesty, “doan-cher-know.” By the way, isn't it remarkable how quiet this has been kept? Think of it, when Clarkesville is celebrating her cen¬ tennial year, her politicians have to resort to the newspaper to get the news outside of her city limits that they are honest? Surely, sure¬ ly, the ladies have not known about all this honesty. If they have, the accusation that they can't keep a secret is a stigma on the name of woman. By some strange and unaccount¬ able oversight of the typo, the devil or whoever handlcs such things as Hi S*> Hopper Webb’s article for ,he Advertiser, the promised rea- soning was left out of the thing, and the people are “bearing,” and watching and waiting for Col. High Hopper to inform them the reason a bond given by the people of Toc- coa is not good. • Dry Goods, Clothing, Dress Goods, Hats, Caps, Gents Furnishing Goods. Underwear To the Taxpayers of Habersham County. If Toccoa intends to build you a court bouse free, why did Mr. John Marfin, of that place, suggest that a tax for the court house be levied before the election ? Because Toccoa knows they are not going to, or intend to build it; and that after the tax is levied, it can’t be used.for any other purpose but to build a court house. Mr. Ramsey says they can do a great deal with money in gaining votes for Toccoa. Do you propose to sell your vote to Toccoa? They can ride around the county in their fine buggies and think they can buy yonr God-given right of a free ballot. Do you in¬ tend to let them do so? The intel- ligent voters of Habersham county say no. We are not slaves to be bought and sold at Toccoa’s bid¬ ding. The rich man will pay most of the court house tax if built at Clar¬ kesville, hut the small farmer and laborer pay most of the tax if it is built at Toccoa. How is this? Because if built at Toccoa it will cost the large property holder no more to attend court than the poor laborer who works for 50c per day. Don’t you see that the poor man pays more taxes by losing his time and having to go so far to court than the rich man who can go much easier and has the means to go with ? If some big man wants to get off of the jury he can do so, and you know this to be the truth. This is a fight of the people against Toccoa and her money. What does a few dollars amount to when you think of the great inconvenience of going to Toccoa over one of the roughest roads in Habersham county? You are not a pauper to be willing to sell your birthright for saving a few cents in taxes. Now suppose the bond is good, did you ev6r hear or know of a bond being collected without a great deal of litigation? There is over 100 names on the so- called bond, and you see w f hat an end of litigation this so-called bond would cost the tax-payers of Haber¬ sham county, when the county would have big lawyer’s fees to pay for years to come, and then have to build the court house in the end. If Toccoa has the money to build the court house, why don’t they put it in the county treasurer’s hands? Because they think they can fool you and have the court house moved, and after it is too late to help your¬ selves, make us build it. All of the above is a lie of the whole cloth. The above was gotten out by the Clarkesville Court House Ring in a circular distributed above the mountains, but they were ashamed to put their name to it. No won¬ der, who ever saw such a lot of lies? Any honest man can see the lies sticking out in every word ibove printed. Let this crowd of Ringsters build a court house at their own expense if they want one at Clarkesville. Make them do as much as Toccoa offers. Toccoa Court House Club. “Tom Tit,” or some other little thing signing himself “T. T.” in the Clarkesville Advertiser charges as a reason the court house should not be moved to Toccoa that “it is said they (the people of Toccoa) lynched some negroes for a murder committed at Toccoa. Theabove ar¬ gument is on a par with all so far ad¬ vanced by the tooters of Clarkesville against the removal of the court house from that place, and is proba¬ bly as good as the contemptible lit¬ tle calibre of 22 is capable of pro¬ ducing. But we would like to have him state just who it was that said Toccoa people did the lynch¬ ing. Does not the little thing know (or is he too mean to teil the truth ?) that the people of Toccoa, without - jail to them the negroes from a lynching here? And does not the miserable little stink-bag know that after the ne- groes were delivered tojihe Clarkes¬ ville officers and placed in the pro- tectingcages of the Groves jail (that didn't cost the county any thing according to “T. T.”) they were taken out and lynched ’ust outside the corporate limits of that town, while the Clarkesville people, if not tying the rope, assisted by qui¬ etly looking on, hiding away in their homes through fear or posi¬ tively refusing to lift a protecting arm in defense of the negroes? \Ye repeat, does he know these things? If not, the editor of the Advertiser should have told him and have refused to publish his ly¬ ing effusion, for he (the editor) THE BEST COBBS certainly knew them, And it is well known by a number of the citizens of Clarkesville that Toccoa people did not do the lynching, but Clarkesville, with ample notice and in the face of a telegram from the Governor of Georgia calling upon them to protect the negroes at all hazards, permitted it to take place right under her own vine and fig tree, and that, too, without so much as breaking a door or lock of the Groves) jail by a mob. Calloway Edwards, the attorney for Architect Bryan, sent* to com¬ missioner Cooper Wednesday for a statement as to how he came to sign his name to the contract for a new court house at Clarkesville. Mr. Cooper swore in a deposition sent Mr, Edwards that Mr. Bryan and Ordinary Hill told him that commissioner Furr said that he (Furr) would sign the contract when Daniel and Cooper had signed it, When Ordinary Hill and Ar=- chitect Bryan brought the plan and contract to Cooper’s house Daniel’s name was on the contract, and Cooper also signed it, thinking Mr. Furr would. Now it seems Furr and the clique at the court house saw that the people of Habersham county were going to vote for Toc¬ coa, en masse, if such a big debt was put on them and he did not sign the contract, but preferred to put the county into a lawsuit. The county is now sued for $880 and damages—how much damages we have not found out. Who did this? Mr. Furr and Mr. Daniel are to blame for this lawsuit. They have no right to make the people of the county pay for their negli¬ gence or carelessness. No ten year old boy in Habersham county would have done as Messrs. Furr and Daniel have done in this matter. Certainly they ought to have set¬ tled with Bryan in some way. Now that they have got the people of Habersham in a lawsuit, the peo¬ ple ot Habersham ought to make Furr and Daniel pay for it. This Clarkesville ring is good at making the tax payers pay for the ringsters’ fun. The jail and several bonds and bondsmen are yet remembered by the tax payers. The political tricksters of Clarkes¬ ville are busily engaged each day around their offices, telling the peo¬ ple of the county all manner of lies about the people of Toccoa; that L they will not do what they say ; will deceive the voters to get the court house and then make the coun¬ ty pay for it. Even the great ordi¬ nary of this county reads them Toc¬ coa’s bond, and then tells them that Toccoa does not say when she will build the court house should the people vote for it to go there. This is deceit of a low type, for the pur¬ pose of gaining votes for Clarkes¬ ville. Why does the ordinary read the bond instead of the application for an election to vote on removal if he does not wish to carry votes by misrepresentation ? However, this is the stock in trade of the Clarkesville politician, but when their methods are brought into ques¬ tion, they rant and blow about whipping somebody. In the mean¬ time, some one of them writes for their paper telling about their hon¬ esty, their ancestry, etc., etc. The political tricksters of Clar¬ kesville, by way of trying to preju¬ dice people against Toccoa, tell them that we (Toccoa) prosecute seven cases out of nine before the courts in this county, which they say entails great expense to the county. But they fail to tell the people that they (the tricksters) are the recipients of all this expense. It all goes into their coffers, and we have yet to hear of a refus¬ al on their part to take all they can get. The J. P.’s and bailiffs in oth¬ er districts of the county often fail to get a cent of their costs for ar¬ rests and commitments, but the Ringsters say nothing about this. How Is Your Stationery ?. Are you nearly out? Look and see— right now; don’t wait until you have used up your very last envelope or letter-head or bill-head before you order some more. Make it a point to order your printing before you have exhausted your supply— so that the printer will have time to turn out a good job. Another good point to bear in mind is that your printing should he taken to The Record Job Office, Toccoa, The Clarkesville Advertiser says that it is a lie that there are only 18 names in the jury box from Curra- hee and Broad River districts. We gave the number of names in said districts on authority of Knox Acre, a man who usually does not go off half cocked. We think he is able to defend his position against these ringsters who set up the howl that this is not true. Col. Jones had to move a case recently from one of these districts because there were no jurymen to try the case. As for impugning the motive ol jury revisers, as that little Clarkes¬ ville titwillow and Jim Crow sheet tries to make it appear The Rec¬ ord has done, that insinuation is a lie, conclusively a lie, nothing more or less. If the revisers are guilty of letting these court house ringsters interfere with their work and doctoring the list, then they are to blame. We do not believe they did, and so stated in the arti¬ cle. It is only the hit dog that yelps, and we have heard of none of the revisers yelping yet—it is the ringsters that have set up the howl. The Clarkesville ringsters forgot to tell you that the 70 cents they propose to levy on you for their new court house was not all they were to levy. They did not ted you there was a lawsuit for $880 for plans of a new court house and damages also asked by Architect Bryan ; they did not tell you that the treasurer, the receiver, the collector, the county commissioners were all to be paid. They only say 70 cents on the hun¬ dred will bring .$14,000. That’s so —when they get it. They know, and so does every fair-minded man in Habersham county know, that it will cost from one-third more to double their calculations. The State and county tax this year cannot and will not be less than $1.08, and then add your court house tax, if built at Clarkesville, to it—$1.00 at least, and will probably go to $2.00—and you will see that if a court house is built at Clarkesville your taxes can¬ not be less than $2.08 on the hun¬ dred, and it may reach $2.50 to $3.50. The commissioners cannot assess you part this year and part next; the tax must be assessed at once. It must be paid at one time. The Advertiser says of the 102 jurymen summoned for next Court, 82 are closer to Clarkesville than Toccoa. The Advertiser forgot to say that Clarkesville people, or their friends who think Clarkesville is the centre of the world, put those names in the jury box. For in¬ stance, Broad River and Currahee districts have only 18 jurymen—9 in each district—and still they poll over 150 votes. Another thing to remember, nowhere else in the county is there a rotten court house ring or clique but at Clarkesville. We give these figures as they ap¬ pear in the Advertise!, not that they are true, for we feel sure there are more than 20 nearer Toccoa than 82 Clarkesville, and if it be true that are the nearer jury revisors Clarkesville, then we say or the jury box has been tampered with. The Record says that the jury commissioners have perjured th_ em- selves, or J. A. Erwin, clerk of the Superior Court or A. M. Gribble, Sheriff, has tampered with the jury box. Sheriff Gribble carries the key to the box, do vou believe he wouffi do such a thing? Clarkes¬ — ville Advertiser. The above is a lie in toto; The Record made no such statement. Toccoa district has more than 700 names registered who will vote for removal of county site to Toc¬ coa • Judge Sutton, in a letter to the Advertiser, says there are only 6x9 people in the county who are nearer loccoa than Clarkesville. The Judge has lost his bearings. Something To Depend On. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill., in speaking of Dr. King t s New Med¬ ical Discovery, says that last win¬ ter his wife was attacked with La Grippe, and her case grew so ser¬ ious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty r__ con- sum ption. Having Dr. King’s New of Discovery it, in store, and selling lots he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from the first dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

Question.—H ow do weevils get intt corn * and how does the “bisulphide oi carbon, ’ which you recommend. de- stroy th-m? Answer.—T he common granary wee* v ^* so destructive to corn and otbei grains in warm latitudes, is a winglesi insect, which may be found iu oui fields, woods or barns. They can onlj survive the cold winters of more north* ern latitudes in the shelter afforded bj barns and other buildings, and in 6ucl sections are consequently few in nnm* *>er an( ^ do but little damage. Ia thil state, and especially iu the southern portion, they easily survive the mild winters, and sometimes do great injury to the corn crop even before it is housed, though the chief damage is done aftei the crop is gathered. They work in the following manner: The female weevL bores a very small hole into the grain of corn and deposits therein one or two, and sometimes three eggs. These eggi soon hatch into little larvae, that eai out the soft heart of the grain, and in 1 few weeks develop into full grown beetles, which then cut their way oui of the kernel in which they have been confined. The females among then, quickly commence their egg laying is the uninjured kernels, and thns genera¬ tion after generation is produced in oni season. The grown weevils feed indis¬ criminately on the hard as well as tin soft parts of the grain. When very nu¬ merous, the corn is rendered unfit foi food for either man or beast To de¬ stroy this pest is not impossible, thougt many farmers take that view. As sooi as your corn is housed, place on top ol the pile, in shallow vessels, such as soul plates, or small tin pans, bisulphide ol carbon, at the rate of to 2 pounds t< every 100 bushels of corn. This quicklj vaporizes, and the vapor being heaviei than the air, descends and penetrate, into every portion of the pile of corn, killing all insects with which it cornel in contact, as veil as rats and mice. Such of the weevils as escape the first application, by reason of being buriec in the interior of the grains of corn, can be killed by a second application, fol¬ lowing in four weeks after the first The closer the crib the more effectual!? will the work be done. Always remem¬ ber that the bisulphide of carbon is » deadly poison and very inflammable, and no fire, not even a lighted pipe 01 cigar should be taken near it Thii danger end 3 wnen all odor of the vapoi has passed away, say in two or thret days at utmost. The use of this remedj does not injure the grain, either foi food or seed purposes, if used as recoin- mended; if used in larger quantities tb« grain is liable to injury as seed. 1 would be pleased if some of our South Georgia farmers would give this remedy fair trial and report the results to this department.—State Agricultural De partmeut.
